The WHO has warned that a billion young people are damaging their hearing with loud music. Nearly half of young people in richer countries listen to "unsafe" levels of music. The WHO said a safe limit is to listen for one hour a day. The WHO said people do not talk about this problem enough. People can stop hearing loss.

Turning the volume down and listening for an hour a day can reduce hearing loss. The WHO said that, "even an hour can be too much if the volume is too loud". Loud sounds damage your hearing. They kill small hair cells in our ear that help us to hear. These cells break easily. Loud noise kills them forever. They never grow back.

Back to the loud music lesson.
